What is motherhood? I had always thought about it since I met my husband and felt ready to be a mother...I did know that it entailed giving up "our time" and focus on "time with our child" and also that it would be an emotional and financial rollercoaster....but nothing could have prepared me for the process as it unravelled in reality
The day I realised that I was pregnant it was an amazing feeling to know that something was growing inside me :):) I was completely floored but it didnt strike me till I felt the first movement in my womb....
The following 39 weeks were amazing....Luckily except the 1st trimester where I felt a lot of morning sickness, I breezed past the remainder of my pregnancy with steady weight gain for my child and none for me (I started overwight!!!)....What made the journey even more pleasurable was the love and attention that my husband bestowed upon me ....he accompanied me to all my doc visits and sonographies.... this was definitely the happiest phase of my life :) where I was also able to attend office till 38 weeks and work for 1 week from home (the final 39th week)
The only tension I ever had was "what if my water broke in public?", "what if in pain I scream and create a scene in the hospital?", "what if my water broke midnight?"...but my dearest son took care of all of that :)
Very diligently, I finished work on 15th April, Friday and went to sleep with a mild ache in my lower abdomen ...and on 16th April, Saturday (the day my doc was supposed to take a call on whether we should wait for a normal delivery or a C-sec as my son was presumably big) when I woke up my son decided to break the water bag and announce his arrival :)...things went smoothly and within 3 hours he was delivered by C-sec (couldnt have a normal as there was meconium in the sa which he could have ingested if we opted for a normal delivery)
Before I was even stitched up, Amogh (my son) was brought to me - looking at me with wide open eyes as if identifying me as the little world where he had spent the last 39 weeks of his life :) - such a precious moment - something which will remain in my memory forever
The last 6 months have been a rollercoaster - from staying awake throughout the night, to revelling in his small achievements- holding a toy, turning around, trying to move ahead.....
I would like to use this forum to share my experiences and also hear others and as a platform to get our queries answered however small or big they might be:)
Time to go and prepare Amogh's dinner.....:):) c u soon
